No. 97, 1878.—Petition of Napihana Tuiri.
Petitioner states that he has been oppressed in mind for years because of his land, Waitoha, having been taken by Moananui and sold to the Government without any money having been received by him (the petitioner). He prays that he may receive money or land by way of relief.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That this petition seems to have arisen from a dispute between two Natives as to their private rights, and should be settled in Court, or by mutual agreement.
